This study is confined to a palm oil mill located in Besout, Perak. Six facets of safety management practices namely management commitment, safety training, and worker’s involvement, safety communication and feedback, safety rules and procedures and safety promotion policies were studied in relation to two (2) components of safety behaviour (safety compliance and safety participation).
